The Milk Float Thread

Aww, bless.

You didn’t think this one through, did you. :grinning:

I flip-flop around on this almost daily, but I’m currently leaning toward the Polestar 2.

It looks a bit like a Saab, and I like Saabs and Volvos. The interior is nicer than a 3. The range is the same as a 3, and it’s a bit niche. I like the idea of niche.

It’s not as batshit mad fast as a M3P, but at least it will be painted properly, the wipers will work and all the panels will line up.

Is it similar money to a 3? It looks very nice.

It’s the same price as an M3P.

There’s a very expensive brake/suspension pack and an expensive leather interior option, but that’s it. Everything else standard.

Should sell like iced Bakewells then.

In 10 years I might be able to get one :grin:.

I suspect the waiting list will be monstrous. That’s one of the downsides.

It’s not out until next summer which aligns nicely with my finances. They’re taking deposits but I want to see one first.

Long enough to consider all the options.

And buy an M8.

Have you considered starting a car thread yet? You are leaving it a bit last minute.

Must be those turbocharged electric motors.
Do Porsche source them from Dyson?

Ah, when all you can do is criticise the marketing because the product is superior :grinning:

But why call an electric car Turbo or Turbo s?
It’s beyond marketing.

not its not - it is purely marketing to align with nomenclature they use on other ranges…

I guess it’s no worse than BMW simply fibbing about something being a 330 or whatever.

Meanwhile, in an unfortunate turn of events, my neighbour - who had said that she would never get a car, so we could use her space - is getting a car. So I will not be able to charge at home ever.

Solves the extension cable issue, I guess!

Not before next weekend hopefully :wink:

Next month apparently!

Basically this. Porsche always have base model → S → (sometimes GTS) → Turbo

It’s to preserve the existing tiering structure they have.

I agree, it’s daft, but Porsche customers can be conservative, and they’re pandering to them as they have the money.

Oops! So plan B? C?

There’s actually a lot we can do - Claire can pop it to one of the town centre ones after the school run and go on to work, for example, then I pick it up at lunchtime when the free 4 hour parking is ended.

But if many other people do this then I might need to up my Turan consumption!

Sounds like a win. I’ll be waiting. :grinning:

Has 90 minutes free parking as well, so we don’t need to rush!
